Quick update on this: so far, so good! My only complain is that the buttons are a little too sensitive. Sometimes you don’t even need to touch them. Just hover over them closely and it will register. My other scales have a cover to protect the weighing mechanism, which, on this one, seems to be totally concealed. One less step in my mourning routine. Bonus.
I don’t know what the reviewers said (I didn’t read them) but in terms of accuracy and precision (1 decimal place is perfectly fine for a shot of espresso, or for measuring a dose of coffee beans), I haven’t experience any issues yet. And it’s quite an upgrade from my previous one too. For £8… bargain.
